𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 🩷

Our sweet little 𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐞 was suffering from severe kennel stress, resulting in behavioral issues when she didn't want to be left alone 💔 Luckily for her, one of our amazing fosters didn't hesitate to take her in, and to no surprise, she is already doing great! Foster mom reports:

Dottie is settling in fine...no aggression so far...getting along great with my dogs. Also, she’s pretty smart. She picks things up fast.
- stays by your side off leash. If she does stray, it’s no more than a few feet
- picking up the basic commands quickly 🧠
- figured out the doggie door and so far has had no accidents inside the house 👏🏻
- loved her bath, but did not love the hairdryer 🤣
- she didn’t seem to care about the chickens, ducks, or cats, one way or the other. Pretty much just ignored them 👍🏻
- she loves, loves, loves her toys ❤️
- also likes to watch TV 📺

We are so happy for our sweet girl and just know she will keep doing great! If you are interested in adopting 𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐞, please reach out! 🩷

🆘🚨 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽! 𝗪𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀! 🚨🆘

Just yesterday, we took in 𝟓 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬, none of which are ready to be adopted but still need to EAT. These new babies in addition to the 𝟖 𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚) we already have in foster mean we need LOTS of wet kitten food, as well as some other supplies. Below are some examples of what would be helpful to us:

• Wet KITTEN Food (Fancy Feast, Sheba, Vibrant Life, etc.)
• NON-Clumping Cat Litter
• Wood Pellet Litter/Bedding
• Dry Kitten Food
• Cat/Kitten Toys

If you are able to donate any items or funds towards these items, we would be so very appreciative! And so will all of these little ones ❤️

We are not accepting 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬.

We are overflowing with dogs. Animal control keeps bringing them in…no one comes to reclaim them 💔

We don’t have unlimited space. We are running out of options. 😢
🙏🏻We need PROMPT reclaims.
🙏🏻We need adoptions.
🙏🏻We need help sharing our posts.

Help us save lives.

𝐖𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐨....𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 💔

These two brothers, along with their sister, were brought to AWOL after being dumped in town by a cruel person. They were in rough shape, but still the sweetest pups despite what they had been through. ❤️‍🩹

𝟑 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫.....and these boys are STILL WAITING. They are the BEST boys! Whenever they go to events, they get so much attention and interest, but somehow...they're still here, waiting for their people to find them.

If you have been thinking about either one of these boys, we would love for you to come meet them and consider making them a part of your family. 𝐖𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐨 will be waiting 🥺
